The Barrister's Bride Giveaways for May 2022

After releasing Schemes of Felicity novella as part of the Skirmish & Scandal series last year, author Suzan Lauder (Alias Thomas Bennet, Letter From Ramsgate, A Most Handsome Gentleman and The Mist of Her Memory) is back again with her fifth full-length Pride and Prejudice novel. As depicted on the cover of The Barrister's Bride, the plot features two suitors vying for Elizabeth Bennet's attention and they are none other than the Darcy brothers. Although the premise is quite similar with another variation called The Darcy Brothers, there are significant differences between the two.

In this story, George Darcy is the master of Pemberley with Fitzwilliam as his younger brother. Since second sons do not automatically inherit land and wealth from the father, he is obliged to make his way in the world by becoming a barrister in London with assistance from his late uncle and benefactor. The same uncle has even arranged a marriage between him and the daughter of his good friend. But who is the intended wife? Prior to Mr Bennet's death, Elizabeth's father had chosen a suitable husband for his favourite daughter They cannot form any attachment even though they are initially attracted to each other upon first meeting in Meryton. So when the charming George enters the picture, Elizabeth totally fell for the elder brother. After learning about her father's promise, will she go through with it and become the barrister's bride?

If the blurb intrigues you, then you'll be delighted to know that the author is offering nuggets of information in guest posts, character interwiew as well as some amusing excerpts in the one-week blog tour (with a short break on weekends). Besides this her publisher Meryton Press is donating six copies of The Barrister's Bride in e-book format and an additional two e-books for the cover reveal post. Not to be left out is Suzan who will be gifting a reticule filled with an embroidered hankerchief, a fan and an autographed paperback of The Barrister's Bride.

Guest Post Thanks, Lúthien84, for having me as your guest today, on the blog tour for my newest book, The Darcy Legacy . I have often wondered how Elizabeth and Mr Darcy's courtship would have evolved, were it not for that ill-judged and so ungentlemanlike ' She is tolerable, I suppose... ' This is an angle I explored in The Darcy Legacy . What if their acquaintance did not start on the wrong foot? What if Mr Darcy did not hurt Elizabeth's feelings and her pride at the Meryton assembly — and if he did blunder, it was in a way that she co...

Excerpt Abigail and her father rode with the somber solicitor in a well-sprung post chaise hired for the occasion. They travelled for most of the day, on turnpikes and through toll gates, stopping to change horses and postilion riders at regular intervals, or to take a hurried meal at a coaching inn. Finally, they reached western Berkshire, its rolling hills and woodlands giving way to farms and chalk downs near its border with Wiltshire. They passed through the village of Caldwell, with a fine church, cloth mill and the Black Swan, which Mr. Arbeau pointed out as the nearest inn where they might sleep until they deemed the manor house...

As strange as it may seem, I was a fan of the actor Colin Firth since I first saw the 1995 BBC mini-series of Pride & Prejudice on television, and enjoyed the story enough to wish to read the book, but I did not become a true Jane Austen fan until maybe three or four years ago. Romance was never a favourite genre of mine for reading or movies; I preferred other genres, like suspense, horror and mystery. Somehow, several years ago, I wandered into the website A Happy Assembly , and after readi...
